Similar to recent Oregon story where school children had their pretzels coated with oven cleaner instead of salt.

The eatery in Forest City was shut down Thursday after the customers, who had ordered the drinks shortly after the restaurant opened for lunch, “immediately experienced discomfort and chemical burns in and around their mouths,” the Foothills Health District said in a statement.
“Two restaurant employees subsequently tasted the substance and reported similar symptoms,” the statement said.
It was reopened the next day after local health inspectors discovered that a worker “preparing the bar for lunch service discovered the unlabeled container and, believing its contents to be sugar, used the chemical to prepare the margarita station.”
Chili’s, according to its menu, offers several margaritas that are made with a “citrus-sugar rimmer” in addition to the traditional salt.
Health District spokesperson Megan Rollins said in an email the investigation was closed and no fines were issued. She said the injured people received medical treatment, but she had no information about their conditions.

The bad food handling practices I've seen at restaurants makes me not care to go that much, and food is often not that great compared to what I make, and for the cost and health aspects of it too. They offer fries or some veg that's usually overcooked and watery, unappealing visually and taste, lack of professionalism on basic things all around. Maybe some people don't know good cooking and think all this is normal, hmmm...

I'd drink one if it meant a lawsuit big enough to never work again.
